NEXT SHOT-WEEK 3: A PLACE I ALWAYS RETURN TO FOR A SHOT

I often go to any of the typical neighbourhoods as I always find something interesting that catches my eyes. This afternoon, I went out and wandered through a neighbourhood that's typical among black people. So many live over there! Despite the fine weather, the restaurant was closed. It opens from monday to saturday, only!

  

Next Shot week 3 - A Place I always return to for a shot

Photographic Group for Creative Photography

Hi all sorry I am a little late this week I have been busy .
There will be one theme each week, members will have 7 days to contribute before the next theme.

There is only one rule for the Group:
No Archive shots are allowed all contributions must be shots taken for the theme.

If for some reason a member cannot get a shot for the theme they should not contribute that week.

Thanks to those who contributed Last week there were some fantastic contributions.

This week add your contribution below as a New Post, thanks in advance for contributing this week;)

You know how sometimes you find a place and no matter how many times you go there you can always find your "Next Shot"?  

So this weeks theme is: "A Place I always return to for a shot " again totally open to interpretation but it must be a shot taken for the theme.

This is a shot from my archive to stimulate thought its the place I call the Mirror Pool at Avon Heath just 5 minutes from my house. 

I will post my own contribution later in the week, Have fun and think out of the box;)

NEXT SHOT: MY FAVOURITE THINGS

Some of my favourite things: from my appartment and car keys to my passport, lipstick and others related to my hobbies, such as golfing, swimming, walking, cooking, music, etc.

Next Shot - Favourite Things - 3/7/13

A small explanation perhaps. My cats are associal, very seldom to found together in closely knit group, and Mr. Swiss will definitely not pose for a photo in Internet. Of course my computer is a favourite, my iPad and the hundreds of books I have, but not photo worthy. About a couple of months ago Mr. Swiss decided we needed something comfortable for our older days, and ordered two "Stressless" chairs which are actually made in Norway. Just perfect, all especially constructed for golden oldies. My favourite place to relax in the evening, when I am not otherwise busy.

Lynda's Next Shot week 2: These are a few of my Favourite things

Next Shot week 2: These are a few of my Favorite things 

Working with the horses.

Seeing how they react to new things.

And Capturing that moment with the camera.  

I think you can click on the photo to enlarge.  Photo was taken this afternoon (3/7/2013) with the little Canon Powershot A1300HD.  Singed in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.  The obstacle is 2 shower curtains hug from a rod.  They blow and whip in the wind.  Little Joe was curious, a bit stubborn but also a comedian with his reaction.  He grabbed the curtain with his teeth.  The idea of this obstacle is to aquatint the horses with things blowing in the wind, etc.  Just never know what the wind is going to blow in your direction when out riding. 

Horse is Doc De Oros Poco Joe aka as Little Joe

Location: our place, the Rockin' Heart Ranch in the Texas Panhandle

Just look down. Lines on the parking lot at the local supermarket, complete with drainage.

Next Shot 25/2/13: Closer Than Usual ~ Belita

This afternoon, it was quite an experience ascending  the Church of Monastery of São Vicente de Fora’s tower (Monastery of St. Vincent Outside the Walls), a 17th century church and monastery in the city of Lisbon, and take a photo of the old clock mechanisms (gearwheels?). The brass dial which used to set the time is inscribed: made in 1773 and renovated in 1821, as a consequence of the Lisbon Earthquake. The clock has remained in the tower, though it’s out of service.

Next Shot 25/2/13: Closer Than Usual ~ Mitch

Had to do a bit of creative thinking on this one, as I don't have time to get out and shoot something during the week due to work. 

So, here is a very close shot of the gas-fire in my living room. Can you feel the heat??

Lynda's Next Shot 25 Feb 2013 - Closer than Usual?

We are in the middle of a bad blizzard with very high winds and drifting snow.  Before daylight this morning I opened the back bedroom window.  Hand held camera, automatic with flash.  Quickly took photos and shut the window.  Baz, I hope I posted correctly.  If not please let me know.  I will post this link on Muzenws.

Next Shot 2013

Hi all I have to apologize I have been really slack in getting Next Shot back up and running since we left Multiply. The bout of Bronchitis I had late in the year really put me back and I have had to catch up on lots of work at home and on my work web site. 

So before I get things going again I just wanted to get a rough idea who would still be interested if I start posting on a weekly basis again? 

Next Shot ~ The Night Before Christmas

Hi all late for me as well with everything going on with Marci's arrival I forgot all about it until now thanks to all who contributed and Have a Wonderful New Year;)

I Spent New years Eve with My Cousins and we are going to there House Shortly for supper and to see in the New Year.

The Night Before Christmas ~ Milli

A little late but still relevant.

It was a quiet and beautiful Christmas eve in our home as the Christmas Lights flashed on and off from the Veranda of my little studio room.

Next Shot ~ The Night Before Christmas

Here's my entry for the 'Night Before Christmas'  Next Shot theme. I took this on the evening of 24th December. It's some of the decorations on my mom's Christmas tree. No editing,  this is exactly how it came out of the camera, apart from the signature.

 

Christmas Eve Night at the Rockin' Heart Ranch

Beautiful Texas panhandle sunset.

And a moon that is gradually being covered by clouds. 

 

Then a roaring fire to keep warm and wait for the winter storm that brought bad weather this morning. 

NEXT SHOT -THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS DAY

Late in the afternoon it started raining heavily. I took the photo through the window of my home office room, a few minutes before 11:00pm.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!
